Danny successfully fought his cancer battle for 2 ½ years & was told “Carry on with life – all is good” after brain surgery August 31, 2023.

Danny attended St. Anthony’s grade school & graduated from Lincoln High School in 1967. He served in the Army National Guard as a medic for six years. He became a Journeyman for the Electrical IBEW Local 347 Labor Union where his expertise took him into several directions over the years including an estimator for ABC Electric & owning his own business in rural Casey/Adair area. He was an active member of St. Pius X Catholic Church.

Danny married Debbie (Melton) Wheeler in 1968 and together they had one son Jeremy Jordan. He was a lover of life and adventure, laughter and good times were had by all! Together Dan & Jeremy “Buck” shared soooo many incredible times together watching football (go Hawks from Dan, go Cyclones from Buck – you can only imagine) hunting, camping, concerts, races, riding their Harley motorcycles on many trips. Gathering’s with friends & family was the highlight of his life.

Danny will be missed by many members of his family and many friends! He is survived by his son, Jeremy (Nicole) Jordan; his two grandsons, Zachary (Ali) and Jacob; great grandson, David; special companion, Phyllis Deremiah and Patchy; his brother, John Jordan; and many cousins, nieces & nephews.
